WARREN COUNTY.-The GOLD LEAF. is
glad to hear such good reports from our
nei9hboring county on the East, old War
rem. At one time she ranked among the
banner cOuntieS-WaS one of the WealtheSt
and most arist0cratic in the State-but for
some years she has lost prestige somewhat.
Her women have always been noted for
their beauty, her men for their chivalry,
and both alike for their culture and hospi-
tality, and it was sad to see such people
dcspOiled as they were by the war. But
they were not humbled or cast down, and
though they had little left save honor,
proud spirits and determined hearts, the
good people of Warren have brayely con-
tested for the mastery over adverse circum-
stances until now a brighter day seems
about to dawn upon them. The Warrenton
Gazette says:
So far the crops in Warren are better
than they have been in years, and they
usual. Less money has been spent this
year than in years past. The people have
learned prudence and economy, they are
determined to get out of the slough of de-
spOnd in which they have been struggling
so long. And because of the above, the
signs are more hopeful than they have been
in years. Our county is slowly but surely
rections. \ good many of our penple seem
to have taken new determination and en-
ergy and are working to better themselves.
There IS always a strong probability of i'm
prOYemeHt as long as men are dissatisfied
and strive to do better.

last Thursday, August 1Ith. after al i'll
ness of about two months with typhoid
fever. Deceased was young man of fine

Mr. Boyd was well known here and was

WANTED THE CHILD.-MrS. &. ". Will
liams of this place has with her little
niece, the child of a sister, who died while
the child was quite young. 1t is little
girl about four and half years old and
has been with Mrs. Williams nearly three
years. Its father Calvin Williams Ono re-
latiOn to Mr.. G. W. Williams, however,
lives in Durham, where he works as d car
penter. He has done nothing for the sup
port of the child we are told, and seldom
comes to see it, Recently he came to Hen
derson and stopped at Mr.. Williams house
Late in the afternoon he asked Mrs w. to
let his little daughter go with him up town
to get her some candy and some other lit
tie things As he said he had come to stay
a day or two, nothing wrong was suspected
and the request was granted. Neither OF
them returned to the house and when night
came Mrs Williams became alarmed.
After searching the town over without find
ing the child, Mr.. Williams secured a
team and his wife almost frantic with grief
and fear accompanying him they started
about l o'clock in the morning in pursuit
of the man whom they were satisfied had
stolen the child and gone in the direction
of Durham. Thinking it probable he had
stopped OF the way, his second wife being
at her fathers near Oxford, Mr. and Mrs
Williams called by there. Sure enough
there were both father and child, the little
one more than anxious to go bacR ia
"Auntie, or Mama" as she some times
calls her. After some debating of the ques-
ton the father finding Mrs. Williams de-
termined not to return home without the
child, surrendered her. Mr. and Mrs. vii
liams think the action of the man under
the circumstances unwarranted and na.ur-
ally have no kind feelings toward him fol
the trouble and anxiety he gave them.

We learn that great change is TAX
ing place among the Democrats of the
upper end of the county, who were at
first reconciled to the nomination of Lake
for Sheriff. Some revelations of the hold
that " the boss" has on him have led to
very marked falling off in his voting
forces, and it is even predicted that II the
Republicans will get out their full vote,
there may be good chance for the cleo
ton of the Republican candidate. Every
Republican should be at the polls and vote
for Cox as a matter of principle.
